摘要:

AbstractCritical action research is a compelling method for nursing research because it offers a sensitive and qualitative way to study change processes in action. Action research is of limited use to nurse researchers because it relies on group participation whereas most nursing work which we may want to research involves one to one relationships with clients. This paper presents a modification of critical action research. It is termed‘Praxis Research’and it is suitable for research projects that aim to empower individuals, rather than groups. The steps in the praxis research process are described as an on-going spiral of practice, self-reflection, scholarly inquiry and theorising which leads to changed practice.

摘要:

AbstractIn this overview of paediatric pain management the physiological and psychological effects of untreated pain are described. Reasons for the undertreatment of pain are identified as incorrect assumptions about children and pain; personal attitudes of families, nurses and physicians; inadequate research and training; and assessment difficulties. The problems of paediatric pain assessment are considered and an assessment strategy known as QUESTT is presented. Pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions are discussed and the conclusion reached that despite the difficulties, infant and child pain can be controlled by using adequate nursing knowledge and treatment.

摘要:

AbstractThis investigation looked at the phenomenon of‘doing clinical’from the nursing students’perspective. A qualitative descriptive research based on the phenomenological approach was chosen as the method to reveal the meaning of‘doing clinical’, through the analysis of nursing students’descriptions of their everyday lived experience of undertaking the clinical program. Nine, second year Bachelor of nursing students with at least 13 weeks of clinical experience were interviewed. These intensive interviews were tape recorded and transcribed verbatim. A thematic analysis of significant statements of the text was conducted resulting in sixteen theme clusters deriving from specific themes. These sixteen themes clusters and specific themes fell into 6 categories and these were: being in a world of conflicting and confusing values, deciding whether nursing is for me, becoming a professional nurse, discovering what nursing is, being an active learner, and having mixed feelings and thoughts on entry to the clinical program. The essential structure of the meaning of‘doing clinical’from the students’perspective is described and implications for nursing education, practice and research is discussed.

摘要:

AbstractIn this paper I am interested in showing how nurses’concerns for environmental issues reflect larger shifts in modern/postmodern thinking. Changes through premodern, modern, and postmodern times are highlighted. Focus is especially upon the natural world and damage to it in the name of human progress—from which humans also ultimately suffer. Nurses seeking to find environmentally sound ways forward in their practice are experiencing and enacting a postmodern‘mood’, and by speaking out about the futility of perpetuating modernist environmental concepts, they are engaging in postmodern dialogue. Nurses recognise as well however, that when they challenge entrenched and environmentally damaging practices in their workplaces, they open themselves to disturbing currents of change in which stability and meaning may readily be lost.
